Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is currently sitting at the top of Netflix’s movie chart, with its predecessor Knives Out in a close second position. The popularity of the sequel has seen many fans jumping on social media to question the likeness between Ed Norton’s character Miles Bron and billionaire Elon Musk. However, according to director Rian Johnson, the similarities between the fictional and real-life tech tycoons is completely unintentional. Speaking to Wired, Johnson commented:
Of course, the story for Glass Onion was written before Elon Musk’s recent takeover of Twitter, and Johnson has made it clear that Norton’s character is simply an archetypical interpretation of the modern billionaire. However, for those who want to believe there is more intentional link between the two, his explanation will probably not stop the rumors from continuing to circulate.
